Incorrect. My rate a decade ago was $276, and Delta's was $310+ if memory serves.

Not "fully funded", "cost neutral" or "offset" by a long shot.
Completely incorrect. You've just made those numbers up out of thin air. Our COLA pay raises were more than fully funded by our productivity concessions and profit sharing reductions. That's why our senior managers describe our contract as "cost neutral to Delta" and "helps to fund enhancements and initiatives to other Delta employees."
